Mr.. w. l.. Dalgarn, for nearly
seven years past Jailor of this coun-
ty, has resigned that position to en-
gage in the mercantile business with
his brother, and Mr.. S. G. Young has
been appointed in his stead. Mr..
DaIgarn has been a worthy, kind,
faithful and efficient officer, and a
careful and clearly guardian of the
public property in his charge. His
successor is q well-known, deserving
citizen, and-one whom we have every
reason to believe will prove equally as
efficient and acceptable in the impor-
tant trust committed to his keeping.
A dispatch from Philadelphia says

is not spoken Of as "a boom, but as an impetus

4 North Carolina Tragedy.

Abe Pilson aud Emancipation Adams, two
members of the Tar Heel Coon band, got
into an alteration last week while returning
from a colored german on the Bottom, at
Freedom Beasley's place. From words they
soon arrived at razors, and when up near the
Gap. Abe playfully asked Surrender VII
lians whether he would take some Of the
LIGHT or some Of the dark, and thereupon
carved Emancipation in an oblque
manner. about north by northwest,
as the crow flies, from the wishoone
10 the watch pocket, in such way as to let
the moonlight in on his works. Friends had
70 put his vest Oh hind side before to keep
him from making the frontispiece to an al
manac of himself At first it was thought
that Emancipation had been seriously IN
iured but Surrender Williams, who plays
the fiddle. took the i string from his instru-
ment and sewed up Mr.. Adams in a neat and
tasty manner, so that if the fiddle string had
matched the goods in color you couldn't have
told where the stitches had been taken Ad
ans is doing WELL but will have to coniin'
himself TO coarse food till the wound heals
